Did you try deep cycle / alternative reset?

Did you try deep cycle / alternative reset?
PDF from Rigol on alternate resetDo we know whether this applies to the DS1000Z series as well? The tech note only refers to the DS2000 series and up.

PDF from Rigol on sanitizing memoryThe recommendation to disable the "recall last setup after power-up" option makes sense; maybe this can avoid the freeze upon startup which Fennec experiences. As the buttons are all locked up -- can the UTILITY > SYSTEM > POWER SET > Default setting be achieved via a Telnet command?
But for now the Rigol does what I need it to. Hope you get yours running again.
On the positive side: I am glad you could revive your scope via reinstalling the firmware again.
Easy way.
I made a new thumb-drive with the firmware, pluged it in and start the scope. And viola, the screen doesn't show the calibration failure screen anymore and want do a firmware update. NOW the buttons working. I have no idea what happens yesterday.
*Exsample Fluke. I send in a 30 years old Fluke 8840A for calibration. One Knob wouldn't work sometimes, not a real deal. It comes back with a complete new Front, new Knobs and a Letter "Thank you for using our Service". So what should I say ?!
Luckily the 'scope has a recovery mode, all you had to do was insert a thumb-drive and it fixed itself. No need for all the anti-Rigol ranting, it can happen to any device with Flash memory.
Have you looked at the price of Flukes?

How does it works, if I can not press any key ?

I don't have payed for that fix, for the calibration only.
What has the price to do with the quallity of service? Nothing.
Why are you guys polluting this thread which has a specific subject? I know that this is normal for the internet, but please stop trashing the thread with garbage.
What's LG ?
Why do you not read my post after your post?
Since my last RESET my scope is complete ded. It boots up with this screen.
All knobs around the screen are ded. So Start or Exit wouldn't work.
Startup reset wouldn't work. If I tried this, it beeps a few times, than the beeper wouldn't stop and ALL the grey buttons are dead, no way to stop it.
what is the problem you have?
Hello Fennec,What's LG ?My native language is german. Therfore my valediction ist also in german: LG means "Liebe Grüße". Or if you want: Kind regards

PNG screenshot with thumb-drive and printer button takes 2 1/2 MINUTES !One detail: ... I found out that FAT32 pendrives were terribly slow while FAT16 was very fast. Perhaps you could try this with your DS1000Z?
Yepp, thats it. 3-4s only.
The downside is, FAT16 can handle 4GB only. So you have to use an old "pendrive" nice name btw. or you lost the rest of the partition. If the RIGOL can handle more than one partitions with FAT16 I didn't checked.
Maybe I find in da junk box an old small thumb-drive. All I have is much larger than 64GB
"The USB stick must be FAT32 format. If the device is not recognized, try reformatting or
another USB memory stick. We also recommend minimizing the number of folders, files,
and programs on the stick. Drives less than 4GB in total volume are also recommended."
What should I say? My 8 GB USB stick, FAT32, worked and still works fine...
PNG screenshot with thumb-drive and printer button takes 2 1/2 MINUTES !One detail: at a certain point in the firmware merry-go-round, the DS4000 series had the same issue. I found out that FAT32 pendrives were terribly slow while FAT16 was very fast. Perhaps you could try this with your DS1000Z?
If it can handle FAT32 then I don't see why the drive size would make any difference at all.
However, there is another issue: The timestamp is always 1st of November 2014
There is no difference, if connected to LAN via DHCP. But AFAIK the DS1000Z does not have an RTC.
